Thanks Mark. I did have a little problem when I tied in the tank. I think there was some sort or oily residue on the spaflex. It caused my skimmer to not foam and a couple sps to rtn. Everything seems to be better now though.

Thanks Greenmaster. I added my black tang to the display last night. I want him to get used to the tank before adding any other fish.

They are about 100 gallons each. They were about 160 shipped each from tankdepot.com. I was able to get in on an order with some friends to save on freight.

About 450 gallons total. I am unsure when I will be done exactly. I have a lot on my plate for the upcoming month. Not sure how much work I will be able to get done on the tank.
